Ready to dance, dance, dance, with your hands, hands, hands above your head? Lady Gaga is joining the cast of Wednesday season 2.
According toEntertainment Weekly, Gaga is filming the second season of the popular Netflix show as we speak - though we don’t know what character she’ll play.
Following its debut, the fantasy-comedy series quickly became the second most-watched English-language series on Netflix. Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar and executive produced by Tim Burton, it focuses on 16-year-old Wednesday Addams and her treacherous adventures at Nevermore Academy.
Newcomers to the cast includeSteve Buscemi as Barry Dort, Billie Piper as Capri, Joanna Lumley as Grandmama,Thandiwe Newton as Dr. Fairburn, and the legendary Christopher Lloyd - who played Uncle Fester in the live-action ’90s Addams Family movies that starred Cristina Ricci as Wednesday.
Gaga most recently starred in the slightly controversial musical-superhero sequel Joker: Folie a Deux as Lee Quinzel, a new take on iconicDC comicscharacter Harley Quinn. Her last TV role saw her play Scathach, a creature in Irish mythology, on American Horror Story: Roanoke. Earlier that year, she took home the Golden Globe for Best Actress for her role as The Countess in American Horror Story: Hotel.
